JOI-IANN LAUTERBAGH,

OF BREMEN, GERMANY.

PENHOLDER FOR WRITING ADVERTISEMENTS.

Application filed December 30, 1932. Serial No. 610,005.

(for which I have filed an application for patent in Germany on the 2nd of December, 1921), of which the following is a specification. 7

This invention relates to a penholder which has a collar over which the halves of the pen grip by means of an annular groove, said halves being held and pressed together by a ring. The elastic shafts of semi-circular cross section of the halves of the pen which bear upon the holder are conically tapered and thickened and clamped upon the holder by a ring pushed over the shafts.

In order that the invention may be clearly understood, I shall hereinafter describe the same with reference to the several forms of construction shown by way of example on the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Fig. 1 shows a pen holder, the pen being in section.

Fig. 2 shows on an enlarged scale the improved pen upon the end of the holder.

Fig. 3 shows a modified construction of the pen.

Upon the front end of the pen holder or shown in Fig. 1, the pen, composed of two parts 0, c with large writing point, is mounted. The parts 6-, c of the pen have shafts (Z, d of semi-circular cross section which embrace the penholder. The bead-shaped parts 6 of the shafts (l, d are placed upon the thickened part f of the penholder. A ring 9 pushed over the shaft parts (i, CZ serves for securely holding the pen on the holder.

According to the invention the penholder is further improved as follows: the shafts cl, (2 are arranged so that they are inclined towards the penholder as shown in Fig. 2 so that they are elastic. The shafts could be in clined in a direction opposite to the direction shown, viz, towards the collar of the pen holder. The curvature of the halves 0, c of the pen is more pronounced than shown on Fig. 1 so that these halves are elastic with regard to one another. The points of the pen halves b (Fig. 1) are bent at an angle in order to ensure as much as possible a vertical position of the writing edge if the holder is held in an inclined and oblique position, whereby the drawing of fine lines is made possible. The hollow space 2' between the pen halves is filled with ink for writing with the aid of a brush or a filler. Several characters or signs can now be written with the pen uniformly of sufficiently large size and without splashing or blotting.

In order to ensure the uniform supply of ink or Indian ink to the pen without the dangerof drying up the pen holder a may be constructed like a fountain pen, the orifice for the outflow of the ink being preferably made adjustable so that a uniform admission of writing fluid without dripping or blotting is ensured.

F or the writing of old English letters having a hair line parallel to the wedge line the halves of the pen can each have one or several incisions K so that several writing edges Z3, Z7 are produced which are distant the one of the other (Fig. 3).

I claim A penholder with a pen composed of two separate halves held onrthe holder by means of a ring pushed over the same comprising in combination a penholder, a collar on said holder, two halves of the pen each half consisting of a conical shaft of semi-circular crosssection having an arc-shaped groove in its inner surface designed to fit over said collar of the holder and of a nib bent at an angle, and a conical ring pushed over said pen halves to securely press the same against the holder and against one another.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Jon; LAUTERBACH.
